The pages with embedded videos are just in master, so not released to the
public, therefore not a cause for panic. Yes, there is no Slovenian video
now, but we have created video translations before, and I expect that we’ll
be able to translate them well before August. Alternatively, yes, we can
change the URL in Pootle if some team decided to produce their own
video—otherwise I don’t understand why it was exposed to Pootle in the
first place.

You have not been spreading FUD for 20 years. If I recall, you’ve been
providing Slovenian users with a top-notch, perfectly localized version of
a free office suite for the last 20 years. What I do think is that this
thread’s tone became unnecesarily alarming for little reason.

On Sophie’s point about the legality of embedding a video in
French-language pages, that is ultimately a question for our legal
folks[*], but I see no reason why we couldn’t localize that video. In any
case, if it becomes too much of a burden, a simple “git revert” will make
it vanish, and ta-da! Problem solved.

We should be embracing videos; do you really think that all of our users
are willing to read walls of text? Older adults may find it increasingly
difficult to read, for instance, or we could be having some visual learners
out there.
If I learned something from being a teacher, is that different people learn
in different ways. Having content in more formats can only benefit
LibreOffice.

[*] Slightly off-topic, personal P.S.: France’s language policy is
ridiculous and discriminatory (Remember
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vergonha ?); they wouldn’t even ratify the
European Charter so minorized languages would receive protection…
